Partial to the 9's. like the depth of flavors it consistently offers. My T52 experience varied. Some were great others from the same box were kinda meh.

I'm a T-52 guy hands down. I see a lot of guys recommending the Undercrown. It's a good smoke but do yourself a huge favor and Do Not go into it thinking it will be anything close to the 9 or T-52. Totally different animal and medium bodied at best. It actually has a unique sweetness to it. Just figured I would give you a heads up so your not disappointed with it afterward. I have seen a couple guys smoke it expecting it to be similar to the 9 and 52 and they bashed it afterward.

Was it a recent box purchase? I too have been noticing a little inconsistency as of late with the T-52. I am hoping it is just temporary as this is one of my favorite smokes.

The #9 is hands down my favorite. I would like the T52 if it were priced lower, but I think the 9 is worth the price of admission. Haven't had any Rats or the Undercrown yet.

Ive had a 52 Flying Pig but not the 9. What are the differences between the two? I thought the 52 was good and if the 9 is better than :dr.

The 9 was an absolute powerhouse while the 52 Pig lacked any real oomph. I found that the 52 Pig lacked the flavor that the regular 52 vitolas have and in my opinion were kind of disappointing. The Feral Pig is supposed to be a bumped up version of the 9 flavor profile wise.

Thanks. :tu That 52 pig was the only LP i've had. I need to pick up a few to sample.

Both are great, but I prefer the T52 slightly over the No. 9...except for the Flying Pigs. The No. 9 Flying Pigs are phenomenal and I prefer them over the T52 pigs.

both are very good. I like the T52 over the 9. But I have had good and bad experiences with both, really. They really need to be aged and the dry boxed before smoking. At least that's what I have found.

Agree on the dry boxing. The wrappers are so thick that they definitely benefit from either dry boxing or storing at lower RH.
